⌜ ⌝CHAPTER TEN
⌞ ⌟
ARTEMIS woke up first, something that rarely happened. She felt Din's arm around her waist and she enjoyed the small moment of total happiness, knowing it could be over soon. However, the kid had other plans. Before it could wake up Din, Artemis stood up, still blindfolded mind you, and made her way towards his crib. She picked him up and carried him outside.The sun had just begun to rise as Artemis sat down in front of their hut, pulling the blindfold off. The kid cooed and looked up at her.
"Yeah, that's a sunrise," Artemis told him quietly. "It's beautiful, isn't it?"
The kid raised its hands, as if to touch it, making Artemis chuckle.
"No, you don't want to hold it," she told him. "Suns are hot. They'll burn right through you and we don't want that, do we?"
He tilted his head and looked up at her as if not understanding what she had just told him. Artemis picked him up and placed him on her lap, eying him intensely as she tried to contect her mind with his.
A strong Force surrounded his mind, one that Artemis had only felt with Master Yoda before. When her Force met his, they clashed.
"It's me," Artemis whispered to Grogu. "It's me, Grogu."
The barrier disappeared and Artemis made her way into his mind, but not too far, though. He had granted her access and she would not break his trust.
She showed him the sun again and after that the feeling she got when she burned herself by accident.
Grogu's ears moved backwards and Artemis smiled. "See? Sun is hot," she said, pulling back from his mind. "Don't touch it."
Two arms made their way around her as Din sat down behind her. "You're up early," he quietly told her.
"I know, right," Artemis said, tilting her head back so she could smile at him. "Didn't expect that either."
She leaned into him and noticed that he had already put on his armor. Together, the three of them watched the sun rise.
When the kids woke up and came outside to play, Artemis put Grogu down and let him run towards them.
"So what do we do now?" Din questioned her, as she still laid against him.
"Now, we live."

SOMETHING was off.
Artemis, Din, Cara and Grogu had stayed with the villagers for almost two weeks and it wasn't until now that a feeling of darkness crept up to Artemis.
